Business law

Our Business Transactions and Planning practice provides clients with some of the most important legal services involved in organizing, operating and expanding their businesses. Our clients range from individual entrepreneurs to regionally focused and nationally recognized private companies.

Business Legal Advisors

We serve as general corporate counsel for many of our business clients and handle specific matters for others. Each business client, large or small, is given personal attention and the benefit of our collective knowledge and experience.

We Have Two Service Goals

To act as “general counsel” for privately owned businesses that do not have attorneys on staff or need to augment their in-house capabilities; and

To offer comprehensive, focused knowledge for business owners on the many legal issues that affect shareholder and director issues.

Our attorneys assist clients in navigating through the complexities and challenges of today’s business environment. In addition we provide advice and guidance in connection with the daily legal and contractual issues faced by our clients.
